Elkhorn Antique Flea Market August Report

Dear Husbola and I were worried that the August Elkhorn might be a hot hot venture and we would regret signing up to be dealers.  August shows can be so hot--that it is uncomfortable to be selling in an unairconditioned building and the customers are so hot and sweaty that they just slog past your booth--not interested in much of anything.

Nice nice surprise this last Sunday that we awakened to dry weather in the 50s not the 90s and actually had to wear jackets the first few hours of the day.  Shoppers were out in droves--and selling was brisk both during set up on Saturday and on Sunday.  Buying was good on our end too-that always has to be factored into a show--dealer sales are paramount--but if I can scoop around and get goodies for resale--all the better.

Here are some general pictures of the market--enjoy--and consider going to the next market on Sept. 25th.  The May and September markets are reported to be the biggest and the best.

What is next on our antique calendar?--auctions auctions and more auctions!  Our shows are over for the year--so now we have to amass the treasures to continue selling in three shops in the fall and winter and even get a head start on the spring shows.
